Overweight people often blame recent behavior such as overeating for their weight gain, rather than looking for the reason. Getting fat is a very long process. It starts with a slowdown in your metabolism caused by a decrease in muscle use. If you gain weight more easily than when you were younger, it’s because your muscles can’t burn all the calories because you have less muscle.

The best way to control your metabolism is with exercise. Lack of exercise slows down metabolism. The slower your metabolism, the fewer calories you burn. Exercise can change your metabolism in such a way that you become more resistant to gaining weight. Dieting is helpful for temporary weight loss, but it does not cure the tendency to gain weight easily. People who have lost a lot of weight can gain the weight back when they stop. Then they start another diet, lose some more weight and gain it back, and so on. It’s easy to lose weight in the short term, but being successful in the long term is very difficult.

Why do people get into the same hole over and over again? People who do that are similar to gamers. You may get short-term success, but in the end you still lose. Diets are not the answer because they do not improve your metabolism. The more you exercise, the faster your metabolism and the more calories you burn. Lack of exercise is the main reason people get fat. Most of the animals you see are very skinny. They are skinny because they are constantly moving and burning a lot of calories every day. People should stick their noses out of diet books and go out or go to the gym to burn calories like an animal.
